    Gay marriage - OK, whatever floats their boat.
    Gays being allowed a state marriage is OK. If the church denies them a church marriage, OK. They can go and get hitched in the Synagogue of Satan for all I care, if the Catholics are against it.
    Gays being allowed to adopt children - not OK. And please don't bring the "There are heterosexual couples that abuse children or make bad parents/adoptees" strawman argument.

    but why?

    why shouldn't they?

    do you really have a good reason? or is it more "its immoral" waffle which doesn't really say anything

    I was with you until the adoption bit.

    I am sure that they are just as able to bring up children as hetro couples. The strawmen you mention appears to imply that gay couples are going to be by default worse than hetro couples. Any reason why?

    If there was a scarcity of children to adopt I might put hetro couples first. Since there is a glut of children who are otherwise passed around foster homes or state run dumps I'm more than happy to utilise a resource that is present.
